At the risk of being dumped on ,let's look at the advantages of what the battery you want to use at greater expense has to offer, It has more power at startup ,but the stock lead/acid battery has more than enough also ,if the bike is tuned. It also holds it charge and my not be subject to freezing over winter in a cold climate ( not sure), but it has disadvantages as well, If it ever does need recharging it requires a special one at an added cost, unlike a stock battery that could be jump started it can't be without risk, and it dies without notice. If the difference in weight seems to appeal to you .You should be aware that the difference to seemingly "gain" one hP would have to be 12-13 pounds. Some have gone to smaller batteries thinking to shed weight ,not realizing that the battery has two functions one, to start the bike, and the second is it's mass, to absorb power surges ,the same thing you're think about when you consider using a Mosfet RR , again at added cost (about 1/3 more than stock -$150 on line) I would think about a 14AH sealed lead/acid or AGM battery as a better, and much less expensive choise.
